Transformation in a Desperate Situation

This is a long chapter.

Outside the hive, dark clouds seemed to press down on the ground, the world was pitch black, and heavy rain poured down like a torrential downpour.

As lightning ripped through the sky, the enormous old trees in the secret land shook their branches wildly in the strong wind, as if they were about to transform into demons.

Wang Xuan peered through the gaps in the beehive at the rain curtain, and as lightning streaked across the sky, the expression on his face grew increasingly resolute amidst the flickering light.

Although the terrible wound on his shoulder had closed, blood was still seeping out. He had suffered an unprecedented level of injury, and his body had almost been cleaved in two.

The Earth Immortal Spring crystals worked, filling his body with a large number of Active Factor, a breath of new life, and a continuous stream of vigorous energy, which were then transported to the wound.

If the Earth Immortal Spring can save lives, its crystallization effect is even more astonishing.

That night, he lay dormant in silence, waiting for his wounds to heal, for his bones to reconnect, for his granulation tissue to rustle, for his bone marrow to glow, and for his new blood to be full of vitality.

He is slowly changing; his body is being continuously repaired.

In the pitch-black rain, there were unusual sounds, and several tall figures, like mountain demons, were cold and eerie.

These are humanoid creatures, at least similar in appearance, covered in long black hair. They are all over two meters tall, with disheveled hair and fingernails that are ten or twenty centimeters long, gleaming coldly.

Their eyes were a deep green, especially terrifying in the pitch-black world and the rain, radiating an aura of superhuman energy.

"Search carefully. While the heavy rain keeps the Silver Bee away, search the entire area!" A particularly tall figure spoke. He was nearly three meters tall, with deep-set eyes. His green eyes, when they opened and closed, emitted beams of emerald green light that pierced through the downpour for more than half a meter.

In the distance, Yuan Kun, Ou Yun, Mu Xue, and others had not left the mountains and forests. They sent people to search for them in the rain and awaited the results.

They looked at those mountain-like figures with complicated expressions. They were people from three Supernatural Planet who had stayed in the secret land back then. They had combined with spirits and monsters and had become a new race.

Those people were deliberately left behind so that they could adapt to the secret land and thus take control of it.

But their development was unexpected. Some of their descendants resembled mountain spirits, while others were more like newly transformed demons, with stout bodies and covered in black animal fur. They called themselves the Mountain God Clan.

The leader of the Mountain God Clan has reached the pinnacle of herb gathering and is almost breaking through to the next level. He is a very powerful enforcer.

The ancestors of the three Supernatural Planet were very good at managing things and left behind many backup plans, such as disciples and pet beasts like mastiffs. Some of these beasts are now very strong and have multiplied into powerful clans.

The people from the three Supernatural Planet tried to infiltrate slowly, but they were never able to succeed. The humans and beasts they left behind were unable to break through the Great Realm of the Human World.

Several Supernatural Practitioner the Mountain God Clan were experienced and well-versed in the habits of Silver Bee. They dispersed to search further into the mountains and forests.

But one of the Mountain God Clan tribesmen circled around and returned in the darkness, wielding an iron spear as thick as an arm, and thrust it forcefully at the bottom of the hive. He knew that these areas were abandoned old hives and posed no danger.

The cold spearhead grazed Wang Xuan's cheek and pierced into him. He didn't move until the two-and-a-half-meter-tall giant from the Mountain God Clan peered in, his face covered in animal fur, his green eyes like those of a vengeful ghost.

Wang Xuan suddenly launched an attack, unleashing all his spiritual energy. A blinding beam of light struck his head, causing his eyes to bulge out and him to let out a deafening roar.

Wang Xuan grabbed the blood-stained battle suit that was lying on the ground, stuffed it all into his mouth, and dragged him inside.

This extraordinary Mountain God Clan of the Life Soil Realm had suffered significant mental breakdowns, but his physical instincts remained intact. He struggled violently, displaying immense strength.

Wang Xuan's wound continued to bleed, but he still held his mouth shut Death Zone, dragged him into the hive, and suddenly twisted his neck with a snap, turning the furry face to his back.

Wang Xuan sealed the gaps in the beehive again, and no matter how fierce the wind and rain raged outside, with thunder and lightning, the hive was silent once more.

During this time, he saw people leaving the hive several times. He even heard the herb-gathering expert who had injured him with a flying sword earlier discussing with the leader of the Mountain God Clan that he might have escaped to the river ahead, jumped into the water, and gone downstream.

Then, he saw Mu Xue, Jiang Xuan, Ou Yun, and others leading a large number of extraordinary individuals past this place, entering the mountains and forests to conduct a thorough search.

He heard Yuan Kun's curse, "That native, he not only connected with a corner of the first layer of the Mental World, but also condensed a strange phenomenon within his body. His flesh and blood can even corrode the runes of flying swords and break top-tier flying swords. How did he, from an uncivilized land without extraordinary energy, reach this point?"

Wang Xuan understood. Although his body was almost cleaved in two, his blood seemed to have corroded and damaged the flying sword of the herb-gathering expert who was chasing him!

Those people were worried, even afraid. If he escaped and made a breakthrough in his strength, it would cause them extremely terrible trouble and problems.

"The more afraid you are, the more I will try to live." In the pouring rain, Wang Xuan murmured, his eyes deep, before falling silent again.

In the rain, a giant black raven flew across the sky; it was another law enforcer, now standing firmly with the people from the three Supernatural Planet.

All around it, a vast, dark mass of crows, though much smaller, spread out and circled above the forest before expanding into the distance.

On a hilltop, a giant owl scans the surroundings, searching for prey in the rain; its eyesight in the dark is superb.

"This time, we must allow some of us to return to our ancestral planet, to give us some hope. We can't stay in the secret realm forever. Our people are constantly being alienated. Although we call ourselves the Mountain God Clan, we all know that we are human!"

In the distance, the leader of the Mountain God Clan and several experts at the level of herb gathering were talking while searching for traces of the enemy. Naturally, inviting their clan would come with benefits and costs.

After one night, Wang Xuan's injuries were almost completely healed. The effects of the Earth Immortal Spring Crystal were amazing; it was Divine Strange Items that could Extend Life!

He began practicing the second True Form Diagrams, trying to comprehend the final part of this scripture.

The rain continued the next day, and it got heavier and heavier, causing flash floods in some areas.

The loss of a Supernatural Practitioner at the Earthly Realm level among the Mountain God Clan enraged their leader, who was certain that the alien had not left and was still in the area, launching another attack amidst the rain.

Yuan Kun, Jiang Xuan, Ou Yuxuan, and others also mobilized, leading a large number of superhumans to conduct another thorough search.

The Mountain God Clan were very perceptive. They spotted the beehive, looked at the bottom, and realized that it was probably an abandoned nest, and there might not be any Silver Bee living there anymore.

At this moment, Wang Xuan had thoroughly understood the scripture, and had almost completed the second True Form Diagrams, mastering 99% of the areas of his body, causing his secret power to surge.

He only needs one final transformation; he's just a hair's breadth away from stepping into the Lantern Burning Domain!

He suddenly opened his eyes. Outside the hive, several highly skilled herb gatherers, taking advantage of the rain and betting that the Silver Bee wouldn't come out, had come to the bottom area of the hive.

Such a master has a keen eye and immediately spotted the problem: an abandoned beehive hidden in the mud.

Wang Xuan's eyes changed. He thought that a rainstorm would erase his traces and that the heavens were helping him. Who would have thought that the Mountain God Clan was too unusual and knew too much about the secret place, and found him again and again!

"Hehe, hahaha..." The great master whose flying sword was damaged laughed. The sound shook the grass and trees, and all the leaves of the big tree in front of him were blown into dust.

"Found you! Let's see where you run now!" another herb-gathering expert said coldly, a small silver knife hovering in front of him, ready to strike at any moment.

Only the leader of the Mountain God Clan had a grim face. He saw his clansman in the hive at a glance; his neck had been twisted, and he was already dead.

Seven top-level herb gatherers have blocked this place!

"We found him! Haha, so that native was hiding in the beehive, he's got some nerve. But he wasn't so lucky, we still managed to find him!" Yuan Kun laughed.

Upon hearing his voice, Mu Xue, Jiang Xuan, Ou Yun, and the others quickly led their men towards the location; they couldn't let him escape this time.

Wang Xuan sighed. If he had just over a day more, he would be able to fully enter the Lantern Burning Domain and wouldn't be afraid of experts at the Herb Gathering level!

But now that he's been found ahead of time, sitting idly by and waiting to die isn't in his nature; he has to kill at least one or two to recoup his losses.

A dazzling silver light burst forth as he used the hairpin of the White Tiger True Immortal, which he had originally intended to keep and only use as a last resort.

But now, he's in dire straits, and he'll use it to fight back and recoup his losses!

Puff!

In the end, a master herb gatherer was killed, his body exploded, and a white tiger roared in the silver light, tearing apart three extraordinary individuals from the group that had just arrived behind him!

Wang Xuan looked at the hairpin in his hand without feeling any regret. This kind of weapon was meant to be used. The White Tiger True Immortal had said that this thing could only kill people in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. Now it seemed that it was perfect for killing people at the Herb Gathering level. If the opponent was stronger, it would be useless.

"What's going on!?" The remaining six herb-gathering experts retreated rapidly, startled and breaking out in a cold sweat. At the same time, they all attacked, unleashing lightning bolts and drawing their Silver Knife.

Boom!

The abandoned beehive at the bottom was shattered, and the area was filled with the interplay of blade light, sword light, flames, and lightning, creating a terrifying spectacle.

At the last moment, after killing a herb-gathering expert, Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and crashed into the hive, heading towards the new hive!

Even so, the final bolt of lightning still followed him relentlessly, striking his body and nearly exploding his back, leaving it a bloody mess and his battle suit completely shattered.

The silver dagger flew at lightning speed, but its owner seemed hesitant, fearing that it might pierce his flesh and cause damage, just like a flying sword.

In the final moments, only a few flashes of light appeared, leaving horrific wounds on Wang Xuan's body. If he hadn't mastered the strongest scripture to protect his body, any other extraordinary person would have been torn to pieces.

The blade flashed and crisscrossed, leaving six horrific wounds on Wang Xuan's back, arms, and thighs, so deep that the bone was visible.

Even some of the bones were cracked!

There was also a burning flame that destroyed the rest of his armor, burned off some of his hair, and charred some of his wounds under this energetic flame.

Wang Xuan was in a terrible state; he almost died!

He crashed into the new nest, making those people wary. They retreated immediately, fearing they would attract a swarm of Silver Bee. Those venomous creatures were several meters long, and if they all came out, they would cover the sky and be everywhere, unstoppable by anyone.

Wang Xuan rushed in, gritting his teeth, and drank deeply from the Earth Immortal Spring. He entered an extremely dangerous area, preferring to die from the Silver Bee's poisonous stings rather than be killed by those behind him, and not wanting things to go as they wished.

Moreover, this was his last and worst-case scenario plan.

He mastered the strongest scripture, making his body incredibly resilient, far surpassing even the Golden Body. He felt he might be able to defend against the poisonous stings.

"Um?"

Upon entering, he was taken aback to see so many dead bees. Did these monsters, the Silver Bee, use this place as a graveyard? There were quite a few bee corpses here.

He even saw a Silver Bee crawl in on its own, struggle a couple of times, and then stop moving.

Wang Xuan wanted to recuperate here, but he felt it was too risky. What if those people weren't afraid of death, or ordered their assassins to come in? He would be in danger again.

He endured the pain and rushed over, quickly making a hole in the abdomen of the recently deceased silver bee. He swiftly rummaged out various odds and ends, eventually entering the giant Silver Bee's body and using its shell to crawl towards the new nest.

He crept inward, trying to avoid potential pursuers behind him.

Unwittingly, he entered a densely packed area, a hive of larvae. He felt a chill run down his spine; it was almost like a case of trypophobia.

He found a quiet corner and lay still, silently recuperating from his injuries.

But half a day later, he couldn't resist. The aroma of honey was very tempting. He hadn't eaten for more than a day and needed some nourishing food to recover from his injury. Drinking Earth Immortal Spring all the time couldn't completely satisfy his hunger.

Despite his injuries, Wang Xuan went over to freeload.

Fortunately, adult Silver Bee don't appear much here, and the larvae feed on their own.

The larvae are so big and so densely packed, eating a few of them shouldn't have any impact, right?

Wang Xuan snatched food from the bee's mouth and swallowed large gulps of honey. Surprisingly, it had an amazing therapeutic effect on his injuries, not only satisfying his hunger but also making him more and more energetic.

Soon, he discovered an even more amazing substance, a true tonic, royal jelly from the extraordinary hive!

The queen bee feeds on this substance throughout her life and lives several times longer than worker bees.

Ordinary bees, such as worker bee larvae, can also consume royal jelly in the first few days to accelerate their growth, and then they can only eat pollen and honey.

After Wang Xuan "shared" this nourishing delicacy from some newly-fed larvae, he Essence, Qi, and Spirit and his wounds healed rapidly.

When he applied the royal jelly from the extraordinary nest to his back, the charred areas and the deep wounds that exposed bone trembled and came back to life.

Wang Xuan felt that this place was simply a health sanctuary. In just one day and one night, all his injuries were healed, scabs had formed, and even the fractures in his bones had healed.

After he had eaten his fill, he went to a quiet corner and silently practiced the second True Form Diagrams.

Finally, after another night, he completely mastered the last small mysterious domain, and his whole body was connected!

In an instant, his body glowed, his flesh and blood transformed, and his spiritual power also mutated, all becoming exceptionally powerful!

If you look inside, the last mist in his already radiant body dissipates, and all sorts of wondrous sights rise and fall, condensing together with his organs and his flesh and blood.

His spirit was compressed to the extreme and then tempered, like a divine lamp hanging in the sky, illuminating not only his ever-growing cultivation but also his path ahead!

A new and extraordinary transformation!

Wang Xuan officially entered the Lantern Burning Domain, and after completing the second True Form Diagrams of the stone tablet scripture, he also experienced a peeling phenomenon.

The old skin with scars and red marks fell off his body, and the new flesh was without any marks. New hair also sprouted on his head, a dense layer of short black hair with a crystal-clear luster, while the charred hair had long since fallen off.

Wang Xuan felt the immense power contained within his flesh and blood, and he was confident he could fight!

Of course, the biggest change is in the spirit. This realm is itself a spiritual transformation, a shift towards greater strength, and it blends more and more naturally with the wonders within his body.

Those scenes could appear outside his body in an instant, or they could be fused together with his physical body to form a strange landscape that was almost immortal, all at his whim.

Wang Xuan didn't rush out. He stayed there for another day and night, getting used to his newly transformed, powerful body, stretching his limbs, and practicing his true form!

Only when he was certain that he had completely mastered the power of the Burning Lamp level did he consume a large amount of royal jelly from the extraordinary nest again, and pack some away before leaving.

"I'm back. People of Yuhua, Euler, and Heluo Star, are you ready? And the law enforcers, you should all be on the gallows or the grill. I'm here to settle accounts with you!" Wang Xuan stepped out of the Supernatural Beehive.

Thank you to: I O Annian Ah, Yidiudiudiu, and Qingheyishen, thank you for your support!
